I have a similar configuration and the way I set mine up is as follows
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 1.7G 632M 1.0G 37% /
/dev/hda2 596M 172M 390M 31% /home
/dev/hdb2 1.5G 95M 1.3G 7% /usr/local
/dev/sda1 1.9G 901M 935M 49% /drv-d
/dev/sdb1 1.0G 557M 415M 57% /drv-e
I used part of my 850 'hda' drive as swap, the remainder as the home
directory, I also made another drive the /usr/local directory for any
programs that I install outside the distro. Makes it easier to reformat
the main drive without risk of losing personal files that reside in your
home directory or shell scripts you may placed in /usr/local/bin
directory
Another thing I did after installing was rename the /opt directory,
copy the contents to /usr/local and then create a sym link as /opt
pointing to /usr/local so that those files/programs don't reside on the
/ directory anymore.
I'm currently working on setting up the 'sda' and 'sdb' drives to work
as one 3 gig drive instead of two drives totalling 3 gig. But thats
another story.
